Watson ACT 2602

This is literally the perfect example of why so many people look to buy into Watson. A home with character, a large, spacious block with leafy green surroundings and a lifestyle that has Watson written all over it! A superb location, close to everything good in Watson and the surrounding area, makes this property an opportunity that can't be missed! What's going to absolutely draw you in is whilst standing out the back and taking in the beautiful low maintenance gardens with the pool and a lovely backdrop of oak trees, you will picture yourself enjoying watching the kids splash around in the pool, BBQs on a warm evening and having the space to entertain, relax and just enjoy your Watson lifestyle! It's all here!

Sitting nicely on the block, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1 studio, 1 car garage home is your entry into the suburb. Upon entry, you have a large room between outdoors and indoors that provides a nice space for dirty shoes, wet clothes, a home office or (as the seller used it for) to roll the pram straight into and leave. The floor plan here is functional and offers separation and space. Sweeping wooden floors compliment the light and bright atmosphere each area holds. The living is separated from the dining/kitchen and provides a lovely space to spend time with family and friends. The kitchen has been updated with hard wood bench tops, gas cooking, dishwasher and enjoys a lovely view to the front garden. All bedrooms are spacious and have had new carpet installed. The largest bedroom features full-length built-in robes. The main bathroom is large and features a shower and a separate spa bath. Evaporative cooling looks after the cooling throughout our warmer months, whilst the living room features gas heating for the cooler Canberra months.

As we move out to the yard, there is a lovely undercover pergola that is a perfect space to relax and take in the gardens surrounding the property. The pool is a space you are going to fall in love with! A backdrop of oak trees and the surrounding gardens is a magical space to unwind and enjoy our hot Canberra summers. The pool's fencing has been updated and a sail installed to provide shade whilst floating around the pool. The pool house is a wonderful space to use as a bedroom as it features its own bathroom with a shower and toilet. The current owners had used this as a space as guest accommodation, a work from home space and a sitting room/gaming room. Such a versatile space with a lot of possibilities!

The block is large at 747m2, facing northeast to the rear and features a low maintenance surrounding of leafy green views. You will love the Canberra red brick retaining wall separating the yard from the rear garden beds full of privacy hedging. The property is full of character and still has loads of opportunity to inject your own personality into!

Close to everything good in the area, you are across the road from Rosary primary school. You are a short walk down to the Australian Catholic University and Dickson College. In the other direction through the park, are the Watson shops and Majura Primary School. A short drive will take you down to the Dickson precinct and the city centre.
